Entering the bowl season, Wyoming was the only undefeated team in the nation among major schools,[5] but LSU was favored by a touchdown, largely because it had faced a tougher schedule than the Cowboys and virtual home field advantage, as the Tigers were playing just eighty miles (130 km) from their campus.[1]
